ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a printed circuit board text fixture and method for testing printed circuit boards. The test fixture and test method is designed to establish statistical information concerning the breaking force for and deflection of a printed circuit board when the printed circuit board is broken along pre-existing score lines. In particular, the test fixture comprises a support surface for the circuit board to be tested, a clamp for holding the circuit board in place, an alignment target for locating the score line on the circuit board with respect to the clamp, a force gauge for exerting and measuring a downward force on the circuit board until the circuit board breaks along the score line, and a travel indicator for indicating the maximum flex experienced by the circuit board just prior to breaking.
